The host Eminence Lady Warriors, donning their new bright-blue uniforms, came out ready to roll against visiting Henry County last Thursday, scoring the first point of the county showdown and holding a few advantages in the early portion of the match.

With hopes of a top-two finish at the Fifth Region girls' golf tournament Monday, and a season-best score of 334, the Henry County Ladycats were not happy with the 380 they shot on the 18-hole course at Weisinger Golf Course in Shelbyville. But it was still good enough to finish tied for third, which was the best finish in school history for a program that was started in 1998.

Before last Tuesday's races at Carroll County started, the Henry County cross-country runners were told by their coaches to take it easy on the rough course to prevent injuries and use the weekday meet as another training run in preparation for the much larger invitationals.

Last Tuesday’s cross county meet at Gallatin County was nothing more than a glorified practice for the Henry County squad that is currently aiming towards the Greater Louisville Classic Oct. 4, head coach Ricky Drawbaugh said. But a day after the Cats had a tough practice, they were still able to put together a solid race on the hilly layout.

For the fifth straight season, the Henry County girls’ golf team has the goal of finishing among the top two teams at its regional tournament to advance to the state tournament for the first time in school history.

The Eminence Warriors got off to a 4-0 start for the first time since 2000 by dominating Friday’s football game against Bracken County. With a 46-0 shutout victory, which was in conjunction with Eminence’s homecoming, the Warriors have sealed a spot in the state playoffs for the second straight season and now have their eyes on home field advantage.

If the Warriors can defeat either Gallatin County this Friday or Frankfort Oct. 24, they will host a playoff game for the first time in school history.

Eminence’s volleyball team hit a road block last week with one of its worst matches of the season, losing 2-0 (25-6, 25-11) to North Bullitt Thursday night at home. With last Tuesday’s Evangel Christian match canceled due to the storm that swept through the area that left Evangel without electricity, the North loss was Eminence’s lone contest of the week.

Though Scott McClamroch was not there to see it, each Eminence runner crossed the finish line after completing the tough Gallatin County cross-country course for the first time since McClamroch took over the program three years ago. McClamroch had to miss the meet, but was highly impressed with the results he saw from his team last Tuesday.
